What? is he here in America illegally? Because passports aren't that difficult!

If he's here legally, he can easily get back in.
If he has overstayed his travel visa he has real problems.
He's here because he's leading the current east championship. He's not "illegal" if he's currently in processing. And to say "passports aren't difficult" shows that you have no clue how the US Immigration operates. The guy is a fucking professional athlete and he's still having this much difficulty with legally getting processed through the system.

I was literally about to post "then some idiot will say he should have been working on it for a year", and lo and behold, somebody beat me to it! Not only that, but it's the guy who has never contributed anything of substance to any topic what-so-ever. You can't make this stuff up bros!Laughing

i can assure you it can be a problem. I traveled from us to canada and back as an foreigner. it took me 60mins to convince the us boader agent to let me back in. he refused first although i had proof of every accommodation i stay in and a flight ticket back to the uk plus more than enough cash. your country's paranoia is pretty bad to be honest.

If he knew 6 months ago that he was having problems with his visa, why didn't he race the left coast.

I've never had any problems in any customs although several friends of mine a few years ago were picked out of the customs line in the UK (Heathrow, I think) and were immediately denied entry and put on the next flight back to the US. There was no good reason for them to do it. They had beards so maybe they didn't like beards. It made the news. I think they eventually went back successfully.

A couple of years ago I went to Rome and there was a border agent in customs who looked like he wanted to kill somebody. He wasn't even looking at the passports. He was grabbing them from people through his little window, rolling his eyes and literally throwing them back at the people. Top notch security, lol. My cab driver from the airport also had SS bolts tattooed on his arm and was in a fight via texting with his girlfriend while going probably 30-40kmh over the speed limit. It was all quite a "welcome to Italy"... but I did get in. Grinning

Six months seems like a long time, but really it's not when dealing with these types of issues. This is an absurd situation. He's the points leader and is not legally able to meet his professional responsibilities. He's been working here for a decade, and should understand this by now.

I wish him the best, but this is a self inflicted fatal error in his championship aspirations.

Rockstar should fire him, then he won't be working in Canada and he would be able to get in much easier. I'm of the impression that the problem lies in the fact that racing in Canada is either considered work or performance, and depending on which agent you get to review your file, it does make a big difference on which you applied for. If you are not there for either work or performance, it is quicker to get in.

Has our immigration laws become so fucking complex and stupid that it ties up a guy like Marteen I love 250sx Davalos?

Common sense is dead. Its been overrun by beuracracy by government ninies.

Send Davalos to Toronto, when he cant get back in the US lets storm the border and bring him back forcefully! Somebody dig that Finicum guy out of the ground and tell Amon Bundy we're getting the band back together...we got some armed protesting to do!

It's ironic that some say are immigration laws are crap and there's too much immigration in the U.S. Yet when it's interfering with something in your life it's too complex.


Not pointing any fingers at you. Just think it's funny.

Sucks for Martin. I'm sure he's done whatever he can do.

I like the idea of flying to Mexico and just walking back into the U.S. Funny because it's true.

The bosses at Husqvarna have to be fuming. A 250 East Coast title would have been huge for them to win so early in their investment into the USA.

Pretty ridiculous that it can happen.

It's the Agent!!!

Not the team..It's not Canada! Get real people...

The rider is an independent contractor thus the responsibility of entering the country is on the rider.

There have been SX and MX GP races in Canada since the 70's. DeCoster, Lackey, Bobby Kiniry, Damon Huffman, RC, and others have come and gone with no problems...someone in Martin's inner circle dropped the ball.
If the rider hires someone to take care of this...
And is told it's taken care of...
Then finds out at the last minute that he's been lied to...

How's that for an "IF"?

All you people posting about how difficult it is to obtain legal visa's for Canada/US and/or work authorization are nuts. I work with about 90% foreign workers who all follow the same process for entry/work. 1000's of them and most have no issues.

When you are legitimate, have a recognized employer, etc, it is not difficult to get the proper credentials. They also have these people called "Immigration Lawyers" who will help make sure your do everything correctly and on-time. They aren't that expensive.

Only one person to blame for this fiasco, Martin Davalos.

If that is the case, Martin still has only himself to blame. You never let "others" take full control. You hire them to help you, but you need to make sure everything is happening as stated. Once you get a case # from the fed gov, you can call them to get any information about where you are in the process. They will tell you expected wait times etc. You can also pay extra to have the process expedited. It isn't that much money.

Matthes told a story once about how he had "a guy" help him with his paperwork every year so he could work in the US. Then when he hired on with Yamaha they told him to go to their proper immigration lawyer (on the up and up). The result? Paperwork didn't go through. Matthes comes home and tells Pookie they have to get married.

Immigration lawyers don't guarentee anything.

In your world it would seem that there's never any complications brought on by change of status of inept professionals.

Nice world, yours.

In the real world, crazy shit happens all the time & sometimes people lie.

My solution to that is, I don't trust anybody, ever. But, if that is too cynical for you, you can trust but verify.

Its not that my world has no issue, but as RC always said, you make your own luck.
